Thousands back campaign to free dad jailed for 40 years for shooting dead daughter’s sex attacker

Jay Maynor, from Alabama, was sentenced to 40 years in prison in the United States killing Raymond Earl Brooks in June 2014

He plead guilty to shooting the 59-year-old dead in court hearing in November.

The 43-year-old took a plea deal so his daughter Julia, who was molested by Brooks from the age of four, would not have to testify during a trial.

Now a Change.org petition to the Alabama Governor to pardon Maynor has reached more than 6,000 signatures.

The petition states: “Jay Maynor has been sentenced to 40 years in prison for killing his daughter’s rapist.

“Jay is not a threat to society. He is a good man.

“We would like to see him set free or at minimum a lesser sentence.”

Julia, now 24 and a...

How's your weekend going?

Redditor, Law School Graduate, and nimble navigator William Craddick (/u/PleadingtheYiff / brand new Twitter handle @williamcraddick) has made quite the name for himself on Reddit's "The_Donald" forum. In just three short months, Craddick has managed to rack up over 153,000 "post karma" and 48k "comment karma," which (if you're not familiar) is impressive. The guy is an incredibly effective dot-connector, perhaps owing it to his legal training - often posting lengthy reads that are well worth the investment in time. Craddick made the Clinton - Silsby - Haiti connection, which is un-refuted to the best of my knowledge.

In his latest piece, Craddick presents frightening evidence of a massive ISIS network covering the USA. Let's start with the conclusion:

Either the US government and current administration is so hopelessly incompetent that they are unable to detect domestic and foreign threats which are discoverable by investigative journalists and whistleblower organizations. Or, there are factions within the United States government who are seeking to prevent competent, well-intentioned members of the intelligence community, law enforcement, and legislative/regulatory branches from taking action against ISIS operatives and extremist recruits who are active both on the American border as well as in the United States.

Abstract:

The director of the FBI, James Comey, has stated that ISIS now has a presence in all 50 of the United States:

This presence varies in its form from state to state. It exists in the form of smaller cells attached to mosques run by radicalized imams, paramilitary groups operating out of compounds throughout the US, reinforced by veterans and command figures from ISIS’ Syria theater and bolstered by recruits from American minority communities. If all the reports outlined here are in fact found to be true, ISIS has managed to amass a terrifyingly impressive network across the United States that would be capable of wreaking heavy damage in the event of a large-scale terror incident.

I. Training Camps

One of the ways ISIS has established a military presence in the US is by directly franchising out training camps that build operations centers/cells in various parts of the country. Some of these camps are public knowledge although the media has tried to hide them from the public.

At least one established network of paramilitary training camps has been public knowledge since at least the 1980’s. The Jamaat ul-Fuqra, or “Muslims of America” network has run a network of camps estimated in a report from Sean Hannity to be spread across 35 different locations. The report (linked here) showed a number of Islamic jihadist style military training videos filmed at these sites in the United States. News site WND has placed the number of camps at least 22:

Here is a map showing the location of most of the compounds run by Jamaat ul-Fuqra:

The Clarion Project ran a report citing FBI documents which state that in 2014 the FBI investigated the organization “…based upon specific and articulate facts giving justification to believe they are engaged in international terrorism or activities in preparation thereof…” This was due in part to an “accidental” deadly shooting that occurred in one of their compounds, Mahmoudberg, in Texas:

Mahmoudberg was one of several compounds located on property Jamaat ul-Fuqra had purchased in the area:

Jamaat ul-Fuqra was based in Pakistan and its leader, Mubarak Ali Gilani was directly involved in the kidnapping and murder of journalist Daniel Pearl, who was kidnapped while going to interview Gilani in Iraq. He was questioned but never arrested for the role he played:

You will recall of course, that the group who carried out the murder of Pearl was Al-Qaeda in Iraq, which was the forerunner of ISIS. This indicates that ISIS has had established connections to...
